Search Continues For Man Who Went Missing In Joshua Tree 8 Years Ago GUEST:Geoff Manaugh, contributor, New York Times Magazine

Earlier this month, a Rancho San Diego man went missing in Joshua Tree National Park — a vast wilderness area between Los Angeles and San Diego.

Paul Hanks, 54, was missing for four days before being found by members of the Joshua Tree Search and Rescue team. Hanks, who was an experienced hiker, had fallen 20 feet while hiking the park's "Maze Loop" trail.

A feature article by Geoff Manaugh, which is published in the latest edition of the New York Times Magazine, details the case of another experienced hiker who went missing in the park. Bill Ewasko disappeared eight years ago and has never been found.
